Religion
Deuteronomy 31:16: Behold, thou shall sleep with thy fathers
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
By mercy seal'd in lasting sleep.
Mine eyes shall then no longer weep;
My flesh in hope shall rest
Blended with my forefathers' dust.
Till waked by Him in whom I trust,
I mingle with the bless'd.
